Off the west African coast, the Canary Islands are Spain's provincial island paradise. Clear blue waters, the warm equatorial sun, & that distinct atmosphere found only in these idyllic corners of the world are all characteristic of the Canary Islands. You'll visit Gran Canaria, La Gomera, & other islands that host wonderful destinations like Las Cañadas, Caldera de Taburiente, & Garajonay National Parks. Some cruises maximize visits to these enchanting sites, while others might simply allow you to relax at the will of the winds that blow your sails. We also offer a number of tours that not only feature stops in the Canary Islands, but also couple with destinations in Morocco and several longer itineraries that follow in the footsteps of Columbus and cross the entire Atlantic.

Highlights of the Canary Islands
While the Canary Islands are technically an outlying province of Spain, they offer visitors a distinct island atmosphere perfect for a mix of adventure and relaxation. A trip here might include:
  • Hikes up the colorful mountains. 
  • Sailing adventures.
  • Nothing. You read that right - some of our most popular cruises in the Canary Islands have one goal: unwinding in the tropical sun as you relax aboard your luxurious vessel.
Most of our featured tours actually just stop in the Canary Islands en route to other destinations. For the bold explorers, our Trans-Atlantic cruises offer over two weeks of sea-faring excitement from Barbados all the way to Spain. Others combine time in the Canary Islands with stops in Morocco, Cape Verde, and coastal Spain.
